    Indirect Syntax

    I have really enjoyed getting to know Indirect. From one sheet to a different sheet in a workbook this has made year over year changes much faster! But can I use indirect to look up data from a different workbook? Generally speaking is there a set of rules to follow with Indirect? What gets "", & or () and what the best way write out:

    Indirect(filename&tabname&column&row)

    If the filename and tab are fixed is that easier?

    Any advise much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Stoph

    Re: Indirect Syntax

    The file in question has to be open. In the case it is, try doing it manually and see observe the way it is written: Just put the non-changing parts in " " and adapt accordingly.
